To reference a play by William Shakespeare, Seinfeld and company have elevated comedy to a whole other level by creating an entire sitcom concept about the ordinary life of people doing nothing special. For some reason it works. On paper you wouldn't think it could be this funny, but the writing is sharp and extremely humorous, along with characters you come to know and love. It is enjoyable to watch them get out of one predicament after another, due to their absurd reactions to people and events. By the 4th season the writers have hit their stride, both with the script and character development, i.e., Kramer's insane entrances to Jerry's apartment, George's total lack of ambition and purpose except for how to live his life free from actual work/responsibilities, Elaine's crazy behavior, and Jerry's reactions to his three friends. Consistently excellent episodes, so if you want to laugh - check out this show. A++!!!Read full review

We all know a Jerry or George or Elaine... You get the picture... Real life charectars doing seeable antics... No other comedy comes close to this one. It will always be one of my favorites.

Re-discover why this TV series became a runaway hit and made a ton of money for NBC and everyone else involved! After searching for it's identity as a show with some flat episodes and inconsistent character development in the previous seasons, writers Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld finally came up with a winning formula for success: When in doubt, just parody your own show and sit back and watch the fans line up! Finally, the "Show about Nothing" turns into the show that everyone wanted to watch! Episode 3, "The Pitch" sets the tone for not only the rest of this season, but the remainder of the years that this top-notch comedy sitcom aired on NBC. Everything just comes to together at the right moment - all 4 characters finally hit their stride at the same time and learn how to play off each other. Jerry Seinfeld, the poorest actor of the bunch and the most well-known comedian amongst them, ironically becomes the "straight man" for the other 3 characters. Elaine and Kramer hit their stride, but it is Jason Alexander who proves beyond a shadow of a doubt what an excellent actor he is with his portrayal of George Costanza. You cannot go wrong with this show, and it is guaranteed to make you laugh and keep you entertained. Incredibly well-written, with layered storylines that reach back into previous shows to provide an even greater feeling that you are watching a group of wacky, but lovable friends on TV. Episode highlights (among others) include The Bubble Boy, The Wallet, The Watch (both showcase Jerry's family - hysterical portrayal of Jewish parents in New York City!), and the then famous The Contest, which pitted all 4 against each other to see who was "Master of Your Domain" (wink, wink)! A refreshing addition to your DVD library. TV history at its absolute finest!Read full review
